Cocktail Preslava (Summer Thrill)

Somebody gave me a bottle of Tanqueray London Dry Gin for my birthday last year.Thank you very much but I don’t really drink gin-wine lover since birth…. So what do you do with 40% spirit that you don’t like.Well there is only one single option-cocktails. Here is one I created recently.Strangely enough a friend visited me yesterday and I can tell you honestly- there is no bottle of Gin in my house anymore…..As I’ve never created a cocktail in my life and didn’t have a name for it , so I decided to name it after my favourite Bulgarian singer –Preslava. Why? Well Margarita is already taken hasn’t it?

Ingredients:

10ml Elderflower soda (Bottlegreen from the UK is the best, in my opinion)

60ml pressed apple juice

Method:

Muddle the strawberries/raspberries in a shaker, then add other ingredients. Shake hard then strain over cubed ice in a hi-ball glass. Garnish with sliced lemon and a strawberry.Done.Remove the shade from your lamp, sit very close to it in a patio chair wearing sunglasses and sip the winter away…..
